The Evergreen Gallery proudly presents for the first time, a major exhibition of the college’s Andy Warhol Photography Collection, alongside some of Evergreen’s greatest works by major photographic artists of the 20th century.

For many artists, the surface is a layer to be penetrated for what lies beneath—the surreal worlds uncovered in Jerry Uelsmann’s dreamscapes and Ralph Gibson’s grainy and mysterious 35mm candids; or the angst brutally revealed in Diane Arbus’ confrontational portraits.

Andy Warhol on the other hand, thought of emotion as an inconvenience, a burden, and something to omit from his work. His photography had little use for the boundaries of aesthetic, formal, and technical rigor exemplified by the other artists in this exhibition. And yet, his seemingly unjaded gaze uncovered a raw and unapologetic glamor to late 20th century American life.

In addition to over 130 photographs, the exhibition includes Warhol’s Screen Tests, a number of short black and white film portraits that were created in the Factory in the 1960’s. Celebrities Salvador Dali, Nico, Bob Dylan and others are featured.
